"B E S T"... I hate that word.

Best what? Best looking? Best Price? Best quality? Performance wise, all of the tune-required CAI's are equivalent in performance and a stand-alone CAI is worthless (you'd know that had you used the search feature). It's the tune that provides about 80% of the HP gain of the CAI & custom tune combo.

I like the looks of the Steeda. There are many opinions.

Get Steeda; they are made in America. Buying these will at least keep some Americans working with decent jobs.

Most CAI give very few power increases. What really wakes up the engine is not the CAI, but the tuning.

And the reality is I would say most CAIs are just about the same (excluding a tune).

If you are looking for the "best" as far as which one gives the best power increases, look for one that comes with a good tune to go with it.
